Lourent is the perfect example of love and support for those in need. With her knowledge and determination, she always cares for the students and their families at her site. She also brings resources to the community that benefit the families in her school. She sees the opportunity and jumps right in to help. I remember a time when a group of seniors at her school needed some dresses for Prom; otherwise, they couldn't attend the school dance. Lourent immediately found ways to make these girls attend the dance despite their circumstances and made their dreams come true after finding the right attire for them. As these, there are many ways Lourent is always helping the students feel welcomed and supported. She deserves to be recognized for all she does at her school.
